What Our Participants Say!

"My experience with BEST has always been extremely positive. An amazing team that work together for the best outcome. Nothing is too much trouble and always helpful, friendly and supportive in all areas from confidence building, resume updates and writing and everything in between.
Amanda
"BEST offer an individualised and personable approach which all job seekers can benefit from. Tara immediately made me feel comfortable with her down-to-earth and professional style. I also had the pleasure of meeting Andrew whose glowing reputation in the community matches his energy and passion for the community. I thought it may have been a challenge for Tara to find me a position that suited my unique qualifications and experience but she was up for the challenge. My experience with BEST has been so positive that I have referred friends and family and they too have benefitted from their services.
Simon
"Anyone looking for employment, give this team a go. It's not always the big online job agencies that get results. Walk in and talk to the team and they will find you something that you are prepared to do or even retrain. I was let down by online job agencies, so went and spoke to the team and within an hour or less landed a job."
David
"No Ageism here! I was apprehensive seeking to re-enter the workforce especially being a retiree. Right from the moment I walked in the door I was put at ease by Andrew. Such a positive vibe from Tara and all the staff. I had a job offer that very afternoon which should prove to be ideal. Thank you BEST. I thoroughly recommend anyone who is seeking employment to make contact."
Irene
"I was speaking to Tara about potentially putting on an apprentice. Tara found the solution without me even having to do anything. Tara made it super easy, and Nathan is certainly the right fit for our team. Having Tara and BEST in the community is a valuable resource for not only me but any small business."
Bryce
"Thank you for the recommendation, we look forward to having them as part of the crew at Port Arthur. That is wonderful and one of the reasons I wanted to be associated with your industry is also the follow-up care to the clients."
Employer Feedback
Absolute praise for Andrew and Tara, and the BEST team. From the day I met them they’ve been absolutely fantastic in keeping in touch and I’m so very grateful to them for introducing me to my new employment. They even dropped in today to say hello.

BEST have been a great source for advice and guidance throughout our journey. Can’t recommend these guys enough! A huge asset to all small businesses & our community. 👏🏻😎
Tasman Pest Management
I’m very proud to be a big supporter of the work that Jobs Hubs do in our local community, I’ve got a good relationship with Business and Employment Southeast Tasmania as a job seeker and the work that they do to support young people is inspiring and incredible.
Joe
Been with BEST for a little while and they have been so supportive with helping me find work and training courses to improve my skills. I have recently finished 2 courses, in the past 3 months and the BEST team are already helping me to find a job with the skills I have just earned by helping improve my resume to make it appealing to employers. They are simply the BEST and I thank them for their work and dedication to help support me on my journey into getting a job I want.
Shaun
"We also couldn’t stop chatting. I think it ended up being over an hour and we gave him the job on the spot. He was a perfect fit for us! Thanks again!"
